SECTION 8403-8404

8403. Prior to the establishment by a public agency of flood plain
management regulations, the public agency may request and receive a
review by the department or the board of the public agency's flood
plain management plans and shall furnish with the request necessary
hydrologic studies, including flood routings or surveys adequate to
properly delineate flood plain categories together with such
additional supporting data as the department or the board may
require.

8404. Where adequate personnel are not available to a public agency
to prepare the necessary flood routing or other engineering data
needed for support of its flood plain management plans, the
department or board may, upon request of the public agency, make or
cause to be made the necessary investigation and provide the data to
the requesting public agency for its use in developing such plans.
The cost of such investigations shall be borne by the public agency
making the request.
